Presentation Transcript

  1. Measuring innovation in education: the outcomes of a national education sector innovation surveyEuropean Conference on Educational ResearchCopenhagen, 2017 August 22 - 26Gábor HalászELTE/OFI Budapest This presentation is based on the outcomes of the research projects entitled „The emergence and diffusion of local innovations and their systemic impact in the education sector” (No. 115857)

  2. The background: innovation in education • Innovation seen as a major source of improving effectiveness in the public sectorincluding education • Challenges: • How to adapt national innovationstrategies to the specific education sector context • How to measure innovation in the education sector

  3. The Innova research project • „The emergence and diffusion of local innovations and their systemic impact in the education sector” • A project funded by the Hungarian National Research, Development and Innovation Office(2016-2019)

  4. Conceptualisation and survey tool • Creating an analyticalframework (defining relevantperspectives and dimensions) • Designing theoretical models(both static and dynamic) • Creating a survey tool • Organisational levelinnovation activities • Specific innovations • Contextual variables • Sampling

  5. Using primary variables and Composite Innovation Indicators (CIIs) • Primary variables • Two ways of calculating CIIs • Theory based calculations (simple means and weighting) • Calculations based on dimension reduction statistical methods (factor analysis) • The CII used in this presentation • CII of innovation activity • There are also CIIs of sharing innovations and combined CIIs (covering both innovation activity and sharing)

  6. Using survey data to explore complex relationships • Innovation activity in subsystems • Types of innovation • Motives behind innovating • Innovation, organisational capabilities and program participation • Internal innovation and borrowing from outside • Innovation and performance

  7. Some conclusions • Education unit level innovation activity across subsystems is measurable • The Hungarian education system demonstrates a relatively high level of innovation activity at education unit level • Innovation activity can and should be analysed both as a dependent and an independent variable • Composite innovation indicators can be used to explore the relationship of innovation activity with various factors • There is a complex relationship between innovation and performance moderated by other factors

  8. Thank you for your attention! The details of this presentation can be found in the paper „Measuring innovation in education: the outcomes of a national education sector innovation survey” (prepared for the 2017 ECER conference – halaszg@helka.iif.hu). This presentation is based on the outcomes of the research projects entitled „The emergence and diffusion of local innovations and their systemic impact in the education sector” (No. 115857)
